    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    I had wondered if Gunbuster being out of stock was to do with the warehouse issues MVM have mentioned, as there was no low stock alert. (Although AL's communication continues to be poor, as evidenced by more last second delays.) But UP have it marked "sold out" while AOL have removed their...

    I do wonder how, or if, the situation with Embracer will affect AL. And that deal was with a company backed by the Saudi government, which says a lot about the integrity of Embracer. Remember, consolidation is always in the best interests of the consumer! Everything is a bit crap at the moment...

    Garden of Words sent by UP yesterday. Arrived today. Silver Spoon "sent" by AtA on Monday, RM tracking says they're still waiting for it. I hate ordering direct from AL. I'm going to miss UP so much 😭

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    That's rather underwhelming considering the price. A fat DVD case in a card slipcover barely thicker than air 🫤 Hopefully MVM get Call of the Night, preferably with a CE.

    I'd been procrastinating over Silver Spoon for a couple of years. Low stock alert finally prompted me into action.

    Where to Buy Anime in the UK (was Anime Online Retailers)

    Otaku's "up to 6 weeks for delivery" did give me the impression that I could be waiting a while longer than with UP. Although their "7-14 days" for US items tended to be closer to 3 weeks in my experience. Perhaps if more people use Otaku they'll place orders with (I assume) TRSI more...

    Where to Buy Anime in the UK (was Anime Online Retailers)

    Damn it. They've been feeding my habit since the late 1990s, getting me those UY and Maison Ikkoku VHS tapes. I used to pay with cheques through the post! I had a feeling this was coming. Exchange rate being so unfavorable for years forcing prices up (I remember importing Funi CEs for like...

    lol at the above the above post, out of context on a new page 😂 I'm still waiting for Garden of Words steelbook to reacher wider retail. AL was dispatching copies weeks ago. If they match the EB price in the sale, I'll cancel my order at UP. Your move, Anime Limited.

    Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

    I haven't even watched their SFII Blu-ray yet 😭 Don't think I'll upgrade. Not really been impressed with anime at 4k, though that may be due to my setup/eyesight/some other variable. I'll be ordering UY set 3 and Goku (more Kawajiri, MOREEEEE) as soon as UP list them. Nothing much else, I don't...

    Yuuna is pretty good for what it is, something of a throwback to early 2000s harem shows. I didn't care much for the semi-serious episodes in the middle. Best thing about the show is that teh boobies are well drawn and subject to the laws of gravity as opposed to the spherical balloons favoured...

    The Princess Jellyfish CE is still at its early bird(?) price of £34.99, so I grabbed a copy of that. Seems like now's the time when prices are about to go north. And yes, there should at least be an option for customers to not be charged at the point of purchase. I won't preorder from them...

    Garden of Words Steelbook just got pushed back two months, to 7th August, on the down-low. No wonder my question about it the other day went unanswered 😂

    They cancelled LotGH? Those... monsters. I remember noting interest when it was announced, then forgot about it. Not too much interest from me in Re Zero but crap news for those looking forward to it.

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry. These things happen, and it's not that much of a delay, but the US release was 12th July 2022. Can they get it out there within the year⁉️

    Gunbuster looks great. Got the Discotek release the other day, thought might end up buying AL's for the packaging and the artbook. That's about it, really. I continue to be utterly baffled by the absence of 0080 and 08th MS Team 🤷‍♂️

    Great news about Pompo. I look forward to getting a copy. I do have a question about the Garden of Words Steelbook, should Andy happen to drop by again. Is that still on schedule for early June, and will it be available anywhere other than the AL store? The listing doesn't state that it's...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    😬 I hadn't even heard of that. Pompo's the first AL release I've preordered in quite a while and I was wondering if they'd got any better at the communicating delays thing. That it's not listed (or I can't find it) on Amazon or Zavvi probably bodes ill. I do regret not importing Pompo last...

    With Pompo's release date less than a week away, what do we reckon? On schedule or last minute two month delay? I'm hoping for the former and fearing the latter. Ordered my copy from UP so will be waiting a bit longer even in the most optimistic case.

    UK Anime Distributor MVM Entertainment Discussion Thread

    I was, for a few moments, really excited by the Berserk announcement. Then I realised I have it. 6 years and haven't watched it yet... Good to hear that MVM are working with Discotek. Urusei Yatsura would be great, and somewhat fitting given MVM's history with the series, but doesn't seem too...
